the two males that I thought had good structure I kept in the one gallon pots so I can keep them on the other side of my back yard, once they start dropping pollen I may even keep them in my garage, just to be exta safe..
All the females went in the ground.

How do you separate your males to ensure no accidental pollination?

Would really suck to accidentally pollinate your entire grow.

Yes it would!

I plan to cover up the females I don't want pollinated while I have the male pollin around them.
I will also tag the stem that was pollinated with the name of the male that was used since I don't plan to pollinate the entire female plant, I don't need that many seeds ;-).

I plan to use some of the seeds off this project for next years grow.. After seeing the difference in vigor from seed plants and clones, the seeds seem to me to have so much more growth energy. I know from seed you don't know if you are getting a male or female but I will just plant more seeds then I need.. I am sure I will do a few clones of something special. I am also taking clones off the females that I am growing from seed..
I need a greenhouse ;-)
I have been keeping a eye on Craigslist for a small one.

I kept my male about 70 yards downwind from prevailing south and west winds and still wound up with a few random seeds, in addition to the specific branches I hand pollinated, but just random here and there.

It's pretty damn cool to watch the seeds drop from the bud you pollinated, knowing you are responsible for the cross.

Wow, I was afraid that the pollin would travel far... Garage is looking better, plus the garage has windows to let light in ;-)

Agree on the vigor. I grew all clones this year and was not impressed with most of them. A couple strains did very well, but the last few years I used seeds and was much more impressed with my grow. I did get a late start this year due to building my cage i now grow in to ensure I don't get ripped again. Didn't want to be rolling 30 ft of chain link out on the roof when I had plants on the ground.
I got about 15 seeds leftover from years past I am gonna start this weekend for my early harvest. Gonna try hempbucket and mainline. Veg inside and bud outside.
